Polanski, who was elected leader of the England and Wales Greens in a landslide victory last month, after campaigning on a pro-trans, eco-populism platform, appeared on YouTube show Piers Morgan Uncensored where he was asked whether a woman can have a penis, a query seen by many as an anti-trans dog whistle.
“Yes,” he replied immediately, before taking a swipe at incredibly long NHS waiting times: “It’s going to take them a long time on the National Health Service to get rid of it but that’s another problem. I think we’ll leave it on a woman can have a penis.”
Well, my American ass was blissfully unaware of how much of a prick Piers Morgan is until I watched that clip. What a fire hose of strawman arguments and “whataboutism” that man is, jfc.
I’ve only seen this one conversation and it seems like he doesn’t have a single good faith bone in his body. His “If I keep interrupting you, no one can hear the fact that you have good points” formula is exhausting.
Mad respect to Zack Polanski for being able to keep on topic and and stay focused. It’s very difficult not to get flustered when someone is spewing such bad faith vitriol at you.
He’s always been a hateful mouthpiece.
What do you expect from people who have no good arguments? They are basically advocating to destroy 99% of people and give the state total power. There is no good arguments for that. That’s why they focus on this dumb shit to filibuster any attempt to actually have a sane reasonable person speak.
